Zhuo Yushi, the leader of the Yushitai, led his disciples and disciples into the Nanyi army ration case. The entire criminal department was very energetic, and they must not let these mean guys find fault.
Don't think that the Yushitai will only submit complaints. As the Yamen that supervises all officials, the Yushitai has a deep understanding of the crimes committed by officials.
In order to seize the Yan family's business and property, Hu Yuan was capable of creating injustices and killing everyone. It was impossible for him to commit only one case of the Yan family during his years as an official.
Moreover, the cunning, treacherous, and cautious behavior of these censors astonished the professionals in the Ministry of Justice and opened Mu Anzhi's eyes.
The Yushitai was ordered to investigate the Nanyi grain draft together with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. For other cases, the Yushitai only had the power to supervise and not to hear the case.
Yushitai used the old cases of the Yan family that were included in the military ration case as an entry point, from Hu Yuan to his beloved stewards, from Aunt Zhou to her trusted confidant, from the Zhou family, the Niu family, and from the relationship with Niu in these years.
The grain merchants who cooperated with the family, Yu Shitai, uncovered dozens of large and small cases.
Ninety-nine percent of these cases do not fall within the scope of military ration cases.
So he didn't get involved at all and immediately handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment without any violation of the rules.
The neatness of his actions and the prudence of his methods were even inferior to those of Cheng Shilang.
Mu Anzhi said to Li Yuhua in private, "I used to think that Yushitai was just a bunch of scolding bad guys, but I really underestimated them."
Li Yuhua flipped through the account book and said, "Third brother, why do you think so? Anyone who is an official and gets three hundred Jinshi in three years must be the smartest among smart people."
"That's because you don't know how hateful these censors can be. If you say something wrong, they will take part in three or five of your books."
Li Yuhua snickered, "Third brother, you must have suffered miserably."
"If you like ginseng, just ginseng. I'm not afraid of them!" Mu Anzhi leaned over to take a look, "What kind of account is this?"
"Our weaving workshop here is almost finished. Uncle Jiu said that he would go to Northern Xinjiang while the weather is warm. I thought about packing some things and asking Uncle Jiu to take them with him. This is also our intention." Li Yuhua handed over the account book.
To Mu Anzhi, "You and Pei Zhuangyuan have been friends since childhood. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added or subtracted?"
Mu An said, "Everything else is easy to talk about, but I'm worried that Ruyu won't get used to the life there."
"Look what you said, Pei Zhuangyuan is a grown man. Sister Muxiang is used to it, why can't he?"
"How is this the same?"
"What's the difference? Pei Zhuangyuan is extraordinarily valuable?" Li Yuhua squinted at Mu Anzhi. If Mu Anzhi dared to nod, she would make him look good!
"Where are you thinking? I mean, Ruyu has a lot of problems. He has refused to eat this or that since he was a child." Mu An said, "Can he compare to Sister Muxiang?"
Mu An was as good as a donkey when he was young, but he was also very good at making people happy when he said clever words. Mu An said, "There is an interesting thing you must not know. It is said that Ru Yu has extraordinary literary talent and relies on horses to write articles.
A thousand words can be accomplished in one go. He always submitted his papers early whether he was a boy or a master in the imperial examinations. Later, when people mentioned it, they all spoke favorably of him. Do you know why he turned in his papers early?"
"Do you think the food in the examination room is unpalatable?" Li Yuhua tentatively guessed.
Mu Anzhi smiled, "The boy's time is short, and it takes a day. There are servants carrying baskets to sell food. Ruyu bought a sesame seed cake and took a bite, but after coming back, he felt sick to his stomach for two days. He complained to me that the exam was not difficult.
This is how you take your life seriously."
"So picky?"
"He has a lot of weird things." Mu Anzhi said, "When we first moved to Yu'an Palace, because we no longer lived with the imperial grandmother, we had to serve three meals a day in the dining room. His mouth was so open that once in the dining room
A cup of chicken soup was presented to him. He took a sip and said that the chicken was wrong. It was not a pheasant but an old hen. The water for making tea was spring water or well water, fresh spring water or stale spring water. As soon as he took it in his mouth, he said
Know."
Li Yuhua was delighted after hearing this, "The dining room will definitely annoy him to death."
Mu Anzhi's eyes flashed with a smile, like a handful of moonlight, "I don't know if I'm annoyed or not, but the dining room changed two stewards every month, and grandma was worried. Later, our routine was to leave from the longevity dining room."
"Have you lived together since you were children?"
"Let's study together." Mu Anzhi said, "It's like this. The princes and princesses will all have companions to study with. Ruyu and I have been together since childhood. In fact, we should be called companions. We are brothers."
Li Yuhua said, "Sister Muxiang and I are like sisters."
She also had an idea, "When we have children in the future, Sister Muxiang and the others will also have children, and let the children stay together."
"This is natural!" Mu Anzhi said, "Ruyu and I have already discussed it. In the future, when we have children, we must become in-laws!"
"When did you discuss it? Why didn't I know about it?" Li Yuhua was already dissatisfied. Why should we discuss the child's matter with her first?
Mu Anzhi smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry about this. We agreed ten years ago."
Li Yuhua:......
The young couple chatted for a while, and Mu Anzhi took a closer look at the gift list and added a box of books, both about food and planting. In addition, there were several packets of vegetables, which are not common in northern Xinjiang.
vegetable seeds.
Then Mu Anzhi checked off all the gift lists that Li Yuhua had drafted for you.
"Why did you cross them all out!" Li Yuhua was a little anxious.
"Don't worry." Mu Anzhi gently held Li Yuhua's hand, "Do you remember that I told you that Nian Ruyu sent a letter from the post road, and the letter was opened."
Li Yuhua's face changed slightly, and Mu An said, "Don't send people to deliver things yet, and don't write letters yet. It's not too late to wait until the military ration case is over."
Li Yuhua was a little confused, "Is this also related to the military ration case?"
"It doesn't matter." A trace of determination flashed across Mu Anzhi's brows, and he squeezed Li Yuhuan's hand and said, "But by then, no one will dare to touch my things or my people easily."
Although Mu Anzhi was a little confused about Emperor Mu Xuan's affairs at first, he couldn't get what he asked for, and the more he didn't get, the more he wanted.
But that's not to say that Mu Anzhi doesn't have political ambitions. If he really didn't have ambitions, he wouldn't fight for the position of the East Palace.
After that dream, Mu Anzhi's temperament changed drastically and he was straightforward when faced with problems, but this did not mean that he was stupid.
Mu Anzhi is still Mu Anzhi, but he saw a lot through that dream.
Adding transparency can bring out Mu Anzhi's extraordinary talent.
Mu Anzhi rarely participated in interrogations in person. He paid close attention to the progress of the military ration case, including the involvement of the Dali Temple in Yushitai. Officials from the three departments tried the case together. Especially, this was not the same hall where several senior officials were sitting together. The first priority was status and ostentation. This was
Real case trials involving middle- and lower-level officials.
Under Mu Anzhi's supervision, not only did the case not get in the way, but the case progressed with greater efficiency.
When Mu Anzhi reported the progress of the case to Emperor Mu Xuan, he also got some money along the way.
"The Yan family case has been clearly heard. This is the closed case file issued by the three departments." Mu Anzhi handed it over with both hands.
Emperor Mu Xuan read it at a glance and said, "What a pity for the Yan family."
Mu An said, "There is only one Yan Lin in the Yan family now. Although she is a female, it has been quite difficult for her to endure the humiliation and bear the burden of redressing the grievances of the family over the years. Your Majesty may wish to favor Yan Lin and make some compensation to the Yan family."
"I think so too." Emperor Mu Xuan asked, "How is the Yan family girl doing now?"
Mu Anzhi paused and then said, "It should be good. I heard my wife mentioned once that she had someone take care of her outside. I didn't ask about the details."
"I'll go back and ask," Mu Anzhi added.
"After all, women are more careful about these things." Emperor Mu Xuan praised Li Yuhua, thinking that his daughter-in-law's temperament was really very virtuous.
Emperor Mu Xuan closed the files and said, "The old case of the Yan family has been cleared up, but the officials involved back then, Hu Yuan, got involved in the grain case. His case is still under investigation. Liu Chong has already died and his house was ransacked. Others who participated in the grain robbery back then were
The military attaches involved in the case, as well as the officials who tried the Yan family case 15 years ago and ultimately led to unjust imprisonment, must also be dealt with."
"But all these cases will be investigated and sentenced together." Emperor Mu Xuan said to Mu An, "Let your wife tell Miss Yan that the court will not sit idly by and watch the Yan family's grievances. Please take more care of them."
Mu Anzhi responded and asked, "Mr. Zheng and Dr. Xu have investigated the case against Liu Zhong. Your Majesty has no other instructions, so I will let them come back."
"The corruption of the army worries me." Emperor Mu Xuan sighed with emotion. He was not in a hurry to talk about Langzhong Zheng and Langzhong Xu, but asked Mu Anzhi, "What do you think of Liu Chong's case?"
Mu Anzhi said directly, "Kill him if he is rotten and replace him with a good one."
"This is who you are."
Emperor Mu Xuan smiled and said, "Let Mr. Zheng and Mr. Xu come back. Both of them are rare talents."
After talking about government affairs, Mu Anzhi would normally have resigned at this time.
This time, he hesitated and glanced at Emperor Mu Xuan. Although he had already made up his mind, it was a bit difficult to say it.
Emperor Mu Xuan asked, "Is there anything else?"
Mu Anzhi pursed his lips, how could he open his mouth?
"Are you having trouble with your errand? Still can't make up your mind?" Strangely enough, since Mu Anzhi became a stubborn donkey, Emperor Mu Xuan cared more about his son.
"Something happened." Mu Anzhi glanced at Emperor Mu Xuan, "I want to borrow some money."
Emperor Mu Xuan thought he heard wrongly, "What, borrow money?"
"If it doesn't work, forget it." Mu Anzhi felt a little embarrassed about his face.
"Are you short of money?" Emperor Mu Xuan asked.
Mu An said, "You figure it out for yourself. I've been fined here and there since I started working as an errand. I'm about to receive my salary for the second half of the year, and you've fined me again. My wife said she wanted to borrow it from the Queen's grandmother. I miss the Queen's grandmother."
It's all private money, so I can always borrow it from somewhere, so I just want to borrow some from His Majesty to turn around and pay it back later when I have more."
Seeing his awkward look, Emperor Mu Xuan was a little angry and a little amused.
"You said it yourself that every time I fined you a salary, it wasn't because you did something wrong."
Mu Anzhi looked like he didn't feel that he was at all wrong and urged Emperor Mu Xuan, "Should I borrow it or not?"
"Are you in a hurry as a borrower?"
"Of course I'm in a hurry to borrow money." Mu Anzhi said, "If you don't want to borrow it, I'll go find the Imperial Grandmother to make a turnover."
"You said you are married and have a business, so you can live a good life."
"What can I do? Someone gave me money. Can I accept it? If you don't confiscate my salary, I won't even talk to you about it even if I'm tight-lipped."
Emperor Mu Xuan couldn't let his son have no money to spend, so he had to lend Mu An ten thousand taels to count as his advance salary.
After Mu Anzhi left, Emperor Mu Xuan would laugh whenever he thought of Mu Anzhi awkwardly asking him to borrow money.
